Sorry, for late answering. But it doesn't work for me :

address@hidden [tmp/autoconf]> cat > configure.in <<EOF
AC_INIT([am__sinclude], [1.0])
EOF
address@hidden [tmp/autoconf]> autoconf
/local/bin/m4: memory exhausted

I instructed m4 to trace all macro calls in that case :

address@hidden [tmp/autoconf]> /local/bin/m4 --nesting-limit=1024 
--include=/local/share/autoconf --define=m4_warnings=syntax,syntax,syntax 
--debug=aflqt --error-output=autom4te.cache/traces.0t 
--reload-state=/local/share/autoconf/autoconf/autoconf.m4f configure.in 
</dev/null >autom4te.cache/output.0t
/local/bin/m4: memory exhausted

It seems that there is indeed a problem with `AC_PACKAGE_TARNAME'. The
trace file is attached if someome want to have a look.
